The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 344 Mr. Carlo, you don’t want to conflict with me, the Baron, right?

In other words, as long as Lynn gave the nod, the Syndicate would immediately take action and stab Hawthorne I to death on the route he would take next time he traveled.

After all, Hawthorne I was just an ordinary man, not even a warrior.

A single arquebusier is enough to snipe Prince Abe at close range. By then, the Syndicate will arrange dozens of assassins disguised as vagrants, which will be enough to chop Hawthorne I into pieces, and even his father will not be able to recognize him.

But to Drake's disappointment, Lynn slowly shook his head.

"If we let your people do this, then within the next day, the other two major gangs will know that all the beggars in the city have been bribed by us. How can we continue to collect intelligence in the future?"

"Don't expose this intelligence network unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes," Drake asked unwillingly, "Sir, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Of course not... But I have another thing for you to do."

Lynn took out two rolls of parchment from his arms and handed them to Drake.

"These are two greatsword blueprints. I was supposed to go find Master Tynsel and have him forge them for me, but the current situation in the city forces me to rush and race against time, so you have to make the trip for me."

After saying that, Lynn looked at Roche and Reso again.

"Roche, Letho, both of you come with me. Remember to bring a cloak."

……

The entrance to an alley in Novigrad's lower city.

The bored dwarf guard standing at the entrance suddenly saw three people walking towards him.

One of them was dressed as a nobleman, and the other two looked like his guards, all covered in a large cloak.

He blew a whistle hurriedly to alert his companions.

Then he stretched out his hand and signaled the person to stop.

"Stop, you're in the wrong place, 'tourists'. This is private property. To tour Novigrad you should move in the direction of your buttocks."

Lynn, who had already used the Deception Amulet to change his appearance, said calmly, "I need to talk to Carlo 'Machete' Vanresi."

The dwarf guard laughed heartily: "Do you think anyone can see a machete?"

Lynn wasn't angry either.

He raised his right hand, the back of his hand facing outward, and showed the gatekeeper the heraldic ring on his finger.

"Of course not, but at least I have the qualifications to let Machete see me, because I am none other than Baron Brandon from Toussaint."

The dwarf guard was stunned for a moment.

He looked closely at the signet ring on Lynn's finger.

I really can't tell the authenticity.

That's natural.

Because this is a genuine product.

The dwarf guard hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go in and report it first.

"Please... please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform you."

After all, this was a visitor who was suspected to be a noble, and his level was beyond the ability of the dwarf guards to handle.

As for the authenticity, let the boss determine it.

While the dwarf guard was reporting, Roche, who was standing behind Lynn, quietly stepped forward, came to the side of the witcher, and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, what are we doing here?"

Lynn also lowered his voice and replied.

"Of course I'm here to visit the local boss. Actually, we've been doing business in the city for over a year. It would be rude to come here just now to pay our respects. That's why I came here in person."

"Of course, there's another thing..."

When he said this, Lynn had already caught a glimpse of the dwarf guard coming back out of the corner of his eye, so he shut up and stopped talking. He just patted Roche on the shoulder and gave him a look that showed him that he believed in him.

So Roche took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The three of them waited for the dwarf guard to come closer and hear him say, "Baron, the boss has agreed to see you. Please follow me."

Lin En nodded and was about to take Roche and Letho in. But the dwarf guard held out his hand again to stop the three of them.

"Baron, the boss only agrees to see you. Please ask your guards to wait for you outside."

Lin En glanced at Roche and Reso and said, "Okay... Then you guys wait for me outside."

After giving this instruction to Roche, Lynn followed the dwarf guard into the alley.

Going out from the other end of the alley, there is a place similar to a courtyard, but this courtyard is now filled with murderous intent.

About twenty dwarves were sitting or standing around the yard. The moment Lin En followed the dwarf guard in, they stared at Lin En without any concealment.

His eyes were full of provocation.

The dwarf guard also showed an ambiguous smile on his face and walked away to the side.

The dwarves around them slowly gathered around, their eyes becoming even more unscrupulous.

Lin En frowned slightly and looked at the dwarf guard who had retreated to the edge of the yard: "What does this mean?"

"That's what I meant."

A loud voice came from his right.

A dwarf with a mohawk, several large gold chains around his neck, and tattoos on his bare chest and arms walked forward.

It was Carlo Machete Vanreci.

Lin En looked him straight in the eye: "I don't understand, Mr. Carlo, what do you mean?"

Carlo snorted heavily through his nose.

Cross your arms in front of your chest.

"What I mean is that I don't want to have anything to do with you, Baron...if you are really Baron Brandon."

Lin En smiled and said, "Why, do you think I'm a fake?"

Carlo shook his head.

"How can I trust you? Toussaint is at least several months away from Novigrad. You came all the way here just for this little bit of Novigrad property? Not to mention I haven't received any reports from my men at all."

"If a bird from outside the city flies in, it will not escape my sight."

Lin En thought thoughtfully: "So you think I'm a liar? If so, why did you meet me in person?"

"Because I want to see what you are going to talk to me about, what you want?"

"It's not what I want, but I will give you an agreement"

"What agreement?"

"A pact on non-aggression."

"Non-aggression?" Carlo laughed. "Suppose you really are Baron Brandon, my Lord Baron. I've heard your business in the city is almost ruined. And now you come to me and ask me to have a non-aggression agreement?"

Lin En nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Carlo. I believe you should also know that I am not a racist. Some of the workers who work for me are dwarves, and I treat them the same as human workers."

"So, I guess there's no need for us to clash."

Carlo snorted again.

"Do you dare to clash with me? I didn't give myself the nickname of the machete."

But soon, his tone softened again: "What do you mean? You want to deal with Hawthorne I? You want me to remain neutral?"

Lynn waved her hand.

"How can this be considered a confrontation? Hawthorne I attacked me first, and I was just fighting back in self-defense."

"Besides, Mr. Carlo, don't you have any opinion about Hawthorne I?"

Carlo said, "What can I say to him? Hawthorne I and I have always kept our distance."

Lynn smiled.

"Is that true? If so, then Mr. Carlo, why do you use the insulting nickname Hawthorne I instead of respectfully addressing him as Mr. Alphonse Willey?"
